And where the gift should be made under this
condition, to wit, that the donor should have possession of it during
his lifetime, and that, after his death, it should go to him for whom
he intended it, he shall have the privilege of changing his mind when
he wishes, even though he should have suffered no injury; because the
case is similar to that of the execution of a will. But if he who is
deceived by a fraudulent gift, and with the expectation of profiting by
an empty promise, shall expend anything for the benefit of the donor,
he shall be entitled to receive from the donor himself, or from his
heirs, compensation in damages for any loss he may have sustained on
that account. And if anyone should choose to give away any property
he has received, either by ordinary gift or by the authority of any
written document, the party to whom he gives it shall have the same
right to it as the original donor. If he who received the gift should
die during the life of the donor, he shall have the right to dispose of
said gift at his pleasure; and should he die intestate, the gift shall
not revert to the donor, but shall descend to the heirs of him who
received it.
=VII. Concerning Gifts Bestowed upon One Another by Husband and Wife.=
If a husband should give any property to his wife, he must describe
it in a written instrument and affix his signature or seal thereto.
And, in order that his gift may be valid, it is necessary that two or
three freeborn witnesses should attest the document. This law shall
also apply to a wife who wishes to confer any gift upon her husband,
provided the gift was not extorted by the husband through violence; to
the end that the provisions of the law relating to the disposition of
property may be, in every respect, preserved.
